Why $500,000?

We need to raise $500,000 for our outstanding educational initiatives during this unprecedented time. The needs of our students and our community are stronger than ever, and we are unable to perform our typical fundraising approach.

Here’s How You Can Help

When students with enormous potential fail, their temptation to drop out of school increases, which negatively impacts our community’s economic, social, and civic health. 

Your support for The Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation allows Pinellas County youth to achieve academic success, build character, and attain critical life skills through: 

• The Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy

• First Tee - Clearwater

There are a few upcoming ways you can give youth the education and character they need to become great shot makers and even bigger world changers.

Three Ways to Get Involved

That’s why we are launching The Chi Chi Challenge, an intentionally focused fundraising initiative from November 9 - December 31, 2020.

Every donation goes toward the advancement of The Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation, which includes the Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy and First Tee - Clearwater. 

Your support allows us to:

• Provide student scholarships and classroom supplies.

• Maintain the 170 acres of our unique, living classroom environment.

• Increase graduation rates and enrich our community. 

• Instill personal discipline, concentration, honesty, and tenacity into future generations.
